PROF

The South Dakota Department of Health has developed an online training program called Program Resource Online Facilitator (PROF) which is designed to educate and answer any questions you may have about the QuitLine to help you help your patients on their journey to becoming tobacco-free.

With this easy, online training course you’ll learn:

About the effects of tobacco and the steps required to help those addicted seek help.

How to visit with your patients about tobacco use and refer them to the QuitLine.

Other PROF topics include:

The Toll Tobacco has taken on South Dakota

Priority populations

Talking Tobacco Techniques

Services of the SD QuitLine

Tobacco and Chronic Disease

In-Person Training

Another option for groups of health professionals is to have an in-person training from the Statewide Tobacco Cessation Coordinator at a staff meeting or conference.

In person trainings can be tailored to suit the audience and can include the same information found on PROF or can be expanded to cover other emerging topics like e-cigarettes or motivational interviewing.

To request an in-person training, email rrossman@midco.net with detailed event and topic information. Please allow at least four weeks notice prior to date of event.
